Tup MOTION TO OUASH.

Mention was made in our last of mo-
,ion 20 uuash some of the Indictments re-
Gently found against certain county ON
GERS and that hearing would be had be-
fore Judge Blanchard on Saturday OF last
week. The argument to quash the indict
ment against Samuel w. Raymond and
John +. Nash for conspiracy was first taken
I'D and was argued on behalf of the de
PENDANTS by Judge Gilbert and +. F. Bull
but States Attorney Moloney being unable
en- account of sickness in his family, &c
present the opposite side of the case, a fur
Their hearing was deferred, and as the sick
ness In the states attorneys family contin
ues, the argument has not yet been resum
ed
That such melton should be entered
| not only In the case named, but In Others
of the the indictments referred to, was OF
course to be expected as natural incident
In all such cases, and especially in the par
ticular case named, where 1t seems so I'm
probable, to the lay mind at least, that an
indictment can be made to stick, II Is easy
for grand juries to find indictments on all
sorts of complaints, but even in the graves'
cases 1t Is both common and eminently
proper TO have the regularity of the pro-
cedure tested by a preliminary motion to
quash. Obvious defects are thus often dis
closed and great waste of time averted.
1t would therefore be laughable, were
1t not SO disgusting to gee brace of beg
carly newspapers, whose highest aim Is
sensation and defamation and whose de-
pendence for existence is on blackmail,
set up a howl over this motion TO quash as
If II was some kind of underhand move
ment to defeat the ends of justice, and to
make threats against the Judge of eternal
political O. damnation" If he shall decide
against the validity of the indictments.
Poor ignorant dolts! DO they not know
that the drawing of indictments involves a
great many technical niceties, ana that to
ouash an indictment for obvious defects
by no means prevents the finding OF another
not thus impotent, and that the aim In
ouashing is therefore to promote and not
defeat the ends of justice. The commun-
ity has thus far been tolerant TO degree
under the infliction of the endless gush,
and bsmbast and defamation of the afore-
said independent" personal slasher-gaff
press but Is II not too much to ask it to en-
dure in addition the bray of lusty brace
of jackasses.

THE MAYORALTY.


The canvass for mayor has became de-
cidedly interesting, and these parties who
advised Mr. Sherwood to come out, having
In their own minds the Idea that II would
be an Al joke have awakened to a realiza-
sion Of the fact that they have stirred upa
breeze, much after the nature of an Iowa
zephyr and that he is on the track with toe
weights attached. AT any rate the campaign
literary mill has been running double turn
for the past two or three days, presenting
the claims of the two candidates-MR. +.
C. ALLEN and MIR. F. A. SHERwOoD-for
mayor of Ottawa; and for the time being
the danies are as interesting reading as
the minor tales of Maunchausen. The
Times, which Is championing Mayor AL
lens cause, objects to Mr.. Sherwood (l be-
cause he Is selfish; (2) because he drinks.
Now to q looker.on 1t would seem that the
points are more theorical than practical
Sherwood probably Is selfish; but arn't
we all ION the make" Selishness Is q
weakness confined to no one man In OF
tawa-barring the Times man, whose lavish
nee of double loaded matter indicates q
nobleness of soul and q generosity not com
monty found In SO small place. We
might also include In this category of gen
erous men, the Journal folks, who In this
fight, by their decided stand for Sherwood
and their mastery inactivity In attacking
the Mayor with their customary vigor
shows that their zeal for Mr.. Sherwood II
purely and entirely labor OF e;-bJ
which Sherwood shows himself rare pol
iticiap. for no other candidate could tel
the same story this early In the game. Ant
If q candidate Is 10 be declared iDcompe
lent because he drinks, II would shut GU
of the count good many city officials, betl
in and out of the council, and cause con
streustion among present and prospective
candidates by the score. The fact Is, thes'
little peculiarities are so common nova
DAYS that they don't seem to count mucl
an a fight of this sort OF course there
such thing as punching and csat'erin
drinks after the manner Of Chicago cham
plons ON the B. B. diamond; but We reall
are surprised to hear it openly mentione
against man that he drinks-especiall
from arepublican organ with the Times
record.
On the other hand Mr.. Sherwood prom
ises a boom" In Ottsws. He Is going
build street railway. The Times says b
wants 1t to go to his property. Well, SUI
rose he doss-canr we all ride on It. an
